MANAGER’S CORNER
I know that there have been many
questions about when the new
coating will go on the roads. The
company that is doing the work
will send me a work plan before
they start. At that point, we will
have a meeting at the clubhouse
where I will give out all of the
information that I have.
I want to thank the Homeowner’s
Association Board for the event
that they put together on July 4th.
For those that were unable to
attend, you missed a great party.
Thanks again.

Just a little note, I hope everyone
who came to the Fourth of July party
had a good time. I think things went
very well and it turned out to be a
very nice day. We do look forward
to having other events in the future
that will turn out to be as much fun.

In a large bowl, mix together condensed milk
and lemon juice; combine well.
Mix in berries.
Fold in whipped topping.
Spoon mixture into crust.
Freeze five hours or until set.
Let stand for 30 to 40 minutes before
serving.
Keep leftovers covered in freezer.

We would like to thank all of those
who have made us feel at home and
made our year such a great
experience.
This is a great place to live.
Mary & David Schnopp

As far as I know, the road work will
probably be done at the end of July
or the first week of August. From
what I’ve been told, the patches had
to cure.
We will be having new road signs
that Bill will be putting up after the
road work has been completed.

Enjoy

Well, that’s all of the news for now.
I hope everyone has had a nice
summer so far.

REMEMBER WHEN
I was asked to tell you about what it was like as a
child growing up in WWII. Some of my thoughts
are on Cape Cod MA.
Do you remember- We collected milk weed
pods for Navy life preservers. We also collected
tin cans, tin foil and newspapers. We also saved
meat fat drippings.
Butter was so scarce so this is when our
markets came out with Oleo. We remember the
yellow button that came in the oleo pack that you
pushed and broke and squeezed and squeezed and
squeezed to make the oleo look like butter.
When in grammar school and doing the Pledge
of Allegiance, you would first put your hand over
your heart and then stretch out your arm and point
to the flag. This was done away with as it looked
too much like the Nazi salute.
We remember blacking out the top half of the
headlights on our car, and ration stamps for sugar,
meat, coffee and gas.
We took our money to school to buy War
Bonds. We grew Victory Gardens. We had air
raid drills in school and hid under our desks.
There were wardens walking the beaches at night
to see if any subs were off shore or rubber boats
coming ashore. I know that some German subs
did go through the Cape Cod Canal. After the
1944 hurricane we had German prisoners
cleaning up the fallen trees. We remember the
day FDR dies.
